Which 'Green Car' to buy?? - Team-BHP

salluks · 18th July 2008, 17:35

Hi, this is my first post

my company is offering 70,000 discount on any fuel efficient car.

could i request you to please suggest few cars( not more than 6 lakhs)

just wanted to know if any new cars are launching anytime soon,

my company is full of ( waganR, indica xeta) so pls avoid these

Try an i10 with the new 1.2 kappa engine. Although I dont know what mileage it will give, Hyundai is singing paeans to its fuel efficiency and emissions.

Swift diesel is as fuel efficient as they come

abhinav.gupta88 · 18th July 2008, 21:11

Go for the Swift Diesel . Easy to maintain
Fuel Efficient
Fun to drive
or wait for the reviews on the kappa engine.!

Mpower · 18th July 2008, 21:32

How does your company define "fuel efficient"?

rippergeo · 18th July 2008, 21:38

whatever the definition of FE in the thread starter's company, he is not going to find a car giving more mileage than the swift D(under 6 lakhs)

maybe the indica, but he doesn't want that.

Within your budget, currently, its Swift Diesel or Fiat MJD. Tata Indica is going to come out with same engine (same as swift) in 4th quarter of this year (only if you can wait till then).

VJ_MAVRICK · 19th July 2008, 20:32

As others added, Swift Diesel is the right VFM based on your requirement.

That really narrows your choice to something that not unique in your parking lot. The Wagon R, M800 come with a factory-fitted kit. The Santro is reported to have this kit as a dealer fitment.

The Lancer and Cedia LPG/CNG is out of your budget.

greenhorn · 19th July 2008, 23:24

accent CNG?
unfortunately, It's available only in Delhi, Agra and Ahmedabad
A few more cars are in the pipeline , if you can wait

snaronikar · 20th July 2008, 00:02

With LPG as its fuel - currently Wagon R is available at your budget. Take a TD and plunge into it.

tsk1979 · 20th July 2008, 00:20

CNG/LPG? Do you get CNG in bangalore? If yes how long is the wait time for filling. In New Delhi currently you have to wait for 3-4 hours for CNG filling.
A Wagon R Duo, or Santro LPG, or Xeta CNG are something you can buy.
These are probably the only company fitted CNG/LPG cars available. So you don't actually have a choice. You have to buy one of the cars which your collegues have.

aaggoswami · 20th July 2008, 00:44

I broadly would say there are two categories:

1) Normal car running on Petrol / Diesel.
Here the best car to have is Maruti Swift Diesel.

2) With LPG/CNG.
Here the optios are Wagon R Duo, Santro CNG.
